Strengths and Weaknesses

      We all have our strengths and weaknesses and there's nothing bad in it. It's part of a person. Some of them might be negative, but some are also a positive ones. In this book were quite many different people with their own strengths and weaknesses.
      I least identify with Scarlett in this book. There are many reasons for that. First one is that she's very brave in many different ways. For example she dared to tell Ashley about her feelings even though Ashley didn't reply to them. I wouldn't have dared to do that, because Ashley never really told her that. The second thing that Scarlett did, and I wouldn't have done, is marrying with Charles Hamilton. That was a brave act because she didn't love him, she did it only because Ashley was marrying with another woman. She had a baby with Charles and became o widow, because Charles died during the American Civil War. So she had to manage herself. Besides that, she also promised Ashley to take care of his wife, because he was also in the war. I wouldn't have enough courage to deal with this request and accept it. She was also forced to help Melanie with a labor if Ashley's baby, because there was no help available. And because the war had arrived to Atlanta, she decided to go home, even it was very dangerous. I believe that I wouldn't have done those things. There is also a one thing that I simply just couldn't never do- it's killing someone. But Scarlett killed one Yankee soldier. That proves that she was a stubborn and a very brave woman. Her strength was courage and stubbornness, but she also had some weaknesses. She was too importunate. She had to get what she wanted and she was made some sacrifices to achieve them. I think that's rather a weakness because she couldn't control herself sometimes and said and did too much. One of her weaknesses were also men, because she enjoyed men's attention and flirted with them. Even though she was a brave and strong woman, she also had her ups and downs and she cried sometimes. But the biggest weakness of her was Ashley. She loved him so much and did crazy things for him, sometimes even incomprehensible things.
      But not only the characters in the books have their strengths and weaknesses, I have them too. I think that one of my strengths is perseverance. If I put a goal for myself, I won't give up on that and I'll to my best to achieve  it. And if I really want something, I'll work for it. Another one is that I can pull myself together if it's necessary and I commit myself to it. But more than strengths, I think I have weaknesses. Sometimes I'm too warm-hearted and take everything more seriously than I should. I also can't say no to people who I love and care about and I always worry about them. I also don't handle criticism very well and sometimes I'm taking it too seriously. And another weakness of mine is all kind of sweet things, like chocolate, ice cream and so on. I just love them! :P But I think it's OK to have weaknesses too. If we wouldn't have them, we'd be too perfect. :)
